While the media was in full swing, reporters could not find Fang Zhe, an important interview subject.
At this moment, Fang Zhe is receiving academician n in Songjiang. The old man who has been clamoring for chips for many years has now shown his age. Although he is still energetic, he can't hide the traces of time.
"Our country must build its own chip industry. At this stage, the national team's technology accumulation is mainly to meet special needs. In the field of civilian chips, if the layout cannot be made early, the national team will not be able to enter the field as soon as possible, and sooner or later it will be controlled by others.
"The old gentleman obviously lost his breath when speaking.
Fang Zhe has enough respect for the old man, but what should he say? The dispute over the line back then is actually difficult to explain in terms of right and wrong. The key to its effectiveness is money. What do you do in the chip industry if you don’t have money? This is
At that time, I imagined that when I got rich, let alone making chips, I would still be in the same assembly mode as 20 years ago.
"In the current environment, the mainstream in China still believes that there is no need to develop cutting-edge chips by ourselves. Looking at this problem from the perspective of industrial development, private capital has insufficient motivation to develop chips. As a representative of the domestic Buda Hu Tu, what I can do is to design
and production. Even so, the financial resources consumed are really unbearable. Judging from the development trend of the semiconductor industry, the capital investment required for cutting-edge technology is far beyond what one or two companies can achieve.
After Fang Zhe said a lot of words, there was a kind of helplessness in his expression. He didn't dare to think about the lithography machine. Now he can only work on two ends, one is design and the other is production. He dare not touch the materials.
So much money.
"Songjiang already has a cleaning equipment company. It is still engaged in technology research and development at this stage. It will also face competition from South Korea. I know all the difficulties, but this is not a reason to give up. As long as one more company can be called out to invest,
In this field, you can make money." The old gentleman naturally saw it clearly.
"At the end of last year, at a meeting in related industries, some domestic companies were already working on individual products. What they were worried about was that after the products were made, they had invested huge amounts of money in research and development, but they were still unable to make back the money. My attitude at the time
It is very clear that as long as the product can be used, my company will definitely use domestically produced products."
"Aren't you afraid of losing money? Aren't you afraid of affecting the quality of your products? Your semiconductor company will also face competition. Samsung and Da Yuan are two companies that have long regarded you as a thorn in their side."
"Let's do something anyway,
This private communication lasted for half a day. After returning, the old man started a new round of petitions, suggesting that the country increase investment in the semiconductor industry. He yelled too much and asked whether anyone was bothered by this matter. In his words, the old man
Let's say, "It's better for me to shout than for you to shout. It doesn't matter what other people think of a dying person."
There is an area that Fang Zhe has never dared to touch, and that is general-purpose chips. However, Fang Zhe has made some arrangements in advance, mainly for the future mobile phone industry. If you try to touch general-purpose chips now, you will be targeted by companies such as Intel and Qualcomm.
At this time, this mobile phone company was really missing out.
The chip currently used in Feida mobile phones requires Qualcomm to pay a lot of patent fees every year.
In the conference room of Qiu's headquarters building, Fang Zhe clearly proposed a new goal when facing Qiu, Lin and others.
"In terms of manufacturing process, we must not lag behind Da Yuan and Samsung. In terms of design, based on the existing basis, we will develop an integrated chip for the 3G era to bring all functions together. Once this chip is released, it can make mobile phones cheap.
, we will be invincible at the bottom of the market.”
The integrated chip that Fang Zhe mentioned is the chip of a copycat phone.
Qiu's meeting at the beginning of the new year ended, and Fang Zhe went to the mobile phone R&D department again. Here, Fang Zhe proposed a new round of R&D goals to create an epoch-making mobile phone product. At the same time, he announced the establishment of a new
The software research and development department, what this department needs to do is to make some targeted app products, run them on computers first, and then transplant them directly to mobile phones in the future.
The plan for the new mobile phone was naturally to compete with Apple's smartphones. Fang Zhe decided to make a smartphone ahead of Apple at all costs.
For this reason, Fang Zhe puts forward requirements, and the R&D department will meet them. If there are not enough people, they will recruit them. It doesn't matter how much money they spend.
After solving the mobile operating system, it is not particularly difficult to solve the hardware problem. But what about this operating system? It is difficult to say the future now, after all, the future opponents are too powerful.
For this reason, Fang Zhe offered a large reward. Once the new mobile phone is successfully developed and reaches Fang Zhe's basic satisfaction, he will be given houses and bonuses based on the contributions of various departments and individuals, with a total amount of up to 100 million.
Of course, this information must be kept confidential internally, and everyone must sign a confidentiality agreement.
Regarding the issue of confidentiality, after the launch of the first-generation Feida mobile phone, many domestic and foreign competitors have set their sights on Feida. Nokia and Motorola, which currently occupy the main shares in the high-end market, have been eyeing Feida.
Various methods were used to find out what Feida's new phone was.
The R&D department of Feida Mobile Phones is independent, and the core technology is in the hands of several main persons in charge.
Fang Zhe also knew that it was unrealistic to maintain absolute confidentiality. He was already being targeted and it was difficult to maintain absolute confidentiality.
But what Fang Zhe can be sure of is that what kind of smartphone he wants to make cannot be understood based on some scattered information. At this stage, in the field of smartphones, the most popular one is BlackBerry.
This year, Feida is quietly making efforts. Fang Zhe is based in Songjiang, focusing on the chip industry and smartphone R&D departments, as well as software companies. This software company, Fang Zhe is located in Luzhou, and the reason is very simple.
, because there is a famous university there.
To this end, Fang Zhe personally visited many universities to recruit the needed talents. During the upcoming graduation season in the first half of the year, several companies such as Feida, Qiu, and Jinshan recruited more than 2,000 fresh graduates from many prestigious domestic schools.
graduate.
As the most successful private entrepreneur in the country, Fang Zhe's personal recruitment results are excellent, and the school is also very cooperative, because the treatment provided is second to none in the country and the recruitment process is relatively smooth.
During the graduation season this year, two other domestic mobile phone companies with state-owned assets also launched their own music phones. The appearance is naturally different, but the functions can only be said to be exactly the same as Feida phones.
